Katrien De Graef specialises in the languages and socio-economic history of 2nd millennium BCE Babylonia and Elam, bridging traditional philology and digital humanities. Her research employs methods such as prosopography, sealing practices, and network analysis to examine the interconnected dynamics of Babylonian and Elamite societies. She is particularly interested in applying digital methodologies, including OCR for cuneiform cursive script and NLP pipelines for annotating cuneiform texts, to enhance the integration and interpretation of textual, prosopographical, and material data.
